One positive effect of all this water is the profusion of wildflowers and grasses in our hedgerows, verges and gardens this year. Our village green in Tuttington is no exception to this. Broadland District Council have a policy of encouraging […]

Its round tower makes it a member of a very select group of old buildings. It has watched folk come and go in our village over nearly 1000 years of its history and what stories it […]

The plane is a Boeing KC 135R Stratotanker most likely from RAF Mildenhall some 45 miles away (73km as the crow flies) in Suffolk. The KC 135 Stratotanker – which was developed alongside the […]

]]> Snakes Alive! http://hub-local2-editing-content.local/2022/01/10/snakes-alive/ Mon, 10 Jan 2022 11:17:15 +0000 https://tuttington.org/?p=6710 Who would believe it? Those quiet and decent folk of Banningham have a dark and secret past. It turns out that a scary means of summary justice might just have been practised in this quiet and unassuming Norfolk village that lies just a mile from Tuttington. According to legend and a recent article in the […]

This gossamer layer is made from webs of millions of spiders but its origin is not quite what the casual observer might at first expect. Rather than a host of industrious spiders […]

]]> Village help from the Bee Gees… http://hub-local2-editing-content.local/2021/10/11/village-help-from-the-bee-gees/ Mon, 11 Oct 2021 09:01:47 +0000 https://tuttington.org/?p=6528 The Burgh and Tuttington Parish Council is considering ways in which the Bee-Gees might be able to offer some help for the village in the event of an emergency. Well, indirectly… At the last Parish Council meeting – held in Tuttington church – the matter of a community defibrillator for Tuttington was again brought up […]

East […]

At least it looks like a trout – one of several seen in the beck of late. Any keen fish spotters can help us here to confirm our identification and if we have it wrong, we […]

So what’s the error you might exclaim? Well, it’s just a very small one: an apostrophe after the S. Closer inspection of the road sign shows the presence of a scratch in the […]

It has far more iffy origins. This plant no only looks a bit different – it’s positively strange in almost every way. The more conventional name for this plant is arum lily (Arum maculatum) being a relative […]
